Wireless Connection Not Made Due To Hardware Problem

[jjonsalt]

Hi, my wife's laptop has been used for several years without this problem. We have 4 computers, 3 of which are connected to the internet via wireless connection. The computer is a Dell Inspiron 2200. Yesterday morning it worked as always, however, yesterday afternoon it would not (and still does not) connect but the other two laptops work just fine. I get a message saying that there is hardware unplugged. No change in programs or drivers recently. Ideas?

It's possible that your wireless adapter in the laptop went bad. What you can do though is uninstall the wireless adapter and then reinstall with the latest driver and see if that fixes the issue. Download the wireless driver from your laptop manufacturer.
